personally, i seem to have a natural tendency to fall asleep fully concious but also i constantly do reality checks, while awake, see if things change (signs or anything written especially) if you get in the "habit" of lookingat written things 2 or 3 times instead of once then it is only a matter of time when you will look at somehing, find that on the 3rd look it totally changed, and then realize you indeed are dreaming.....you will then most likely wake up from the excitement :)
other things that are easy to notice changes in are your hands and your own shadow (one of my first lucid dreams was started when i noticed my shadow moving for no reason) when it does indeed happen for you it will be well worth the wait! ~good luck!
I really felt that remembering dreams was the most important part in helping me lucid dream. And remembering dreams isn't so hard... just tell yourself, before you go to sleep, that you'll remember your dreams and then, when you wake up, lay there for a minute to see how much you remember. Then, write it down in a journal! You have to do this everyday, and for weeks. But, just as I've just posted in a new topic, I started having lucid dreams almost immediately after starting to keep a journal, but the tediousness of keeping the journal has kept me from doing it again... it's just laziness!!!

Hi wantsumrice,
Welcome to the forum! There is a website (if you already know of it, I apologize) that may have some helpful information for you:
http://lucidity.com
They also have a frequently asked question section and forum type area specifically related to lucid dreaming.
Very best,
thanks a lot for responding guys, i still havent had any luck with LD'ing but i did have my first OBE. sweeeet!!
I am getting wicked frustrated with lucid dreaming. ive tried EVERY-SINGLE technique there is to offer, but nothing. i must have been born without the ability to LD. i really need some help/advice with this cuz LD'ing sounds like the BOMB.
i will not give up trying to LD.
